"Ningxia, you're here, come in and sit down." Yan Zi saw Ningxia and wanted to smile but couldn't.
"Don't get up. Lie down and rest. I just heard the child crying and came over to check."
Ningxia hurriedly persuaded Yan Zi who was about to get up. She looked so weak that it seemed that she would be lost if the wind blew.
She didn't mention that she had just heard her crying, but Yan Zi knew that Ningxia must have heard her crying, and she felt very uncomfortable.
"They look exactly the same!" Ningxia saw Yan Zi's discomfort and walked over to see the two children.
The two children are a little fatter than when they were born. At least Ningxia dares to look at them now.
But she felt that they had difficulty breathing and seemed difficult to feed.
"Well, they look the same. They even get hungry and pee together." Yan Zi's face was filled with a happy smile when she heard Ningxia talking about the children.
"They are so well-behaved!" Ningxia looked at the two children lying there obediently, and she began to look forward to having her own child.
"He's well-behaved when he's asleep, but he makes a lot of noise and gives me a headache when he's awake." Yan Zi said with disdain, but the smile on her face never faded.
"I haven't had time to prepare anything for the child, so giving him some wedding money is a token of my appreciation. You can't refuse!"
Ningxia placed the prepared unity next to the child.
"No, I was grateful for your help that day. I want to thank you properly after I finish my confinement. How can I let you spend more money?"
Yan Zi felt very embarrassed, but seeing Ning Xia's expression that didn't allow for refusal, she had no choice but to accept it.
Ningxia only sat there for a while before realizing that the woman just now was Yan Zi's biological mother.
There are some things that she is not comfortable asking, and she doesn't want to ask. As long as nothing goes wrong, Ningxia will pretend not to hear.
After Ningxia left, the woman in the kitchen came into the house.
"The one just now lives next door to you?" Yan Zi's mother sighed as she looked at her daughter.
"Well, we just moved here not long ago." Yan Zi looked at her mother and wanted to cry again, but when she thought about what Ningxia had just said, she felt it would be a bit embarrassing if someone heard it.
"It seems to me that she is pregnant. How many months is she pregnant?" Yan Zi's mother asked, not knowing what she was thinking about.
"It's almost four months now!" Yan Zi thought that it had been three months since she first came, so it should be four months now.
"Oh, only four months?" Yan Zi's mother stopped asking and looked at her daughter, worried and not knowing what to do.
"What I just said is for your own good. You have to plan for the future." Looking at her poor daughter, Yan Zi's mother wanted to cry too.
"But I can't bear to part with them. They are my flesh and blood. I almost died for them."
When Yan Zi thought about what her mother said about exchanging children, her heart bled.
"Have you thought about the future? Will Desheng be willing to give up these two daughters? Will your mother-in-law forgive you? She didn't ask you to switch them both, so just switch one and raise them as twins. Having a boy will make your life easier in the future."
Yan Zi's mother thought that if her daughter could still give birth, she wouldn't have to worry even if she had three daughters, but now she can't give birth anymore!
Her son-in-law just had a baby, twins, which is a rare occurrence. They must be very rare now.
In two years, he will still want a son. What will happen to her daughter then?
It would be better to exchange for a son while the child is still young, so that everything can be solved.
"Can I bring the child home and raise him together?" Yan Zi looked at her mother with a pleading look on her face.
"Yan! It's not that mother doesn't want to, it's that I want a daughter!"
Yan Zi's mother thought of that family. Her daughter-in-law died during childbirth. The mother-in-law knew it was a boy and was worried that it would be difficult for her to find a son in the future.
I want to raise a daughter instead. Others will see her as a daughter and won’t look down on her because she will be married off in the future anyway.
As for grandchildren, my son will have another one when he gets married.
If my daughter-in-law's family didn't have relatives living in the same brigade as theirs, the old woman would have wanted to abandon the child.
She told everyone that she gave birth to a girl, but secretly kept asking which family had a daughter. Who wouldn't want a son nowadays?
Not to mention exchanging one daughter, many families would be willing to exchange two or three daughters for one.
If she hadn't said that her daughter was blessed with twins, it would never have been her turn.
But as soon as she mentioned this to her daughter, she burst into tears.
"Mom, Desheng won't agree." Yan Zi felt that her man really loved daughters, and he didn't mind that she had two girls.
"Aren't you stupid? Wait until Desheng holds his son, and see if he'll be happy."
Yan Zi's mother is an experienced person, how can she not consider her daughter?
Swallow just kept crying without saying a word. The mother and daughter were connected by heart, and when she cried, the two girls also burst into tears. Swallow's mother hurried over to comfort the children.
She didn't dare let her daughter get up. She had to take good care of her body. This time giving birth would take half her life.
Ningxia heard crying again over there. Even though Yan Zi's voice was very soft, it was so quiet on her side that she could still hear it clearly.
Ningxia frowned. What happened?
She felt something was wrong, but before she left, she saw Yan Zi Niang making some soup and the cleanly washed Jie Zi.
The two girls cleaned up very neatly and didn't look like they would abuse Yan Zi. So, were they in trouble?
Ningxia thought about these things but did not go over to ask. It was someone else's family affair. If they were willing to talk, she would listen. If they didn't want to talk, she would not force them.
It was not yet four o'clock when Ren Jingxiao came back, and Ningxia saw that he was carrying a package of something.
"So early today? What is this?" Ningxia asked curiously.
Ren Jingxiao went into the house to warm himself up before picking up Ningxia.
"It's getting dark quickly. All the factories are leaving early today. The roads are too slippery. I'm worried everyone will fall when they try to get home after dark."
"I picked this up on the way back from delivering goods today. The people there said it's called hairy chestnuts and needs to be cooked before eating. I asked for some. You can try it and see if it tastes good."
Ren Jingxiao had never eaten this before, but Master Chen said it was delicious and smelled very fragrant when fried, so Ren Jingxiao bought some.
Ningxia opened the bag and saw, aren’t these chestnuts?
She thought of many ways to eat it, such as sugar-fried chestnuts, chestnut stewed chicken, chestnut braised pork... She became greedy just thinking about it.
Seeing Ningxia like this, Ren Jingxiao knew that she liked it. He thought that if he met her again in the future, he would buy more.
"Carry me to the kitchen and I'll cook something for you to try. It's delicious."
Ningxia thought that she had been in the house all day and dinner had not been cooked yet, so it was a good opportunity to use these chestnuts to make a dish.
Ren Jingxiao obediently carried the person to the kitchen and followed Ningxia's instructions to wash the chestnuts.
Then he watched Ningxia take out some meat from his pocket and cook a dish in a short while.
Ren Jingxiao was already full at night. These hairy chestnuts tasted really good. No wonder Master Chen asked him to buy more! Master Chen hadn't lied to him.
When the two of them finished eating and were clearing away their dishes, they heard Ma Desheng's roar from next door...
